	Greatly expanding on Wednesday's report that the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA) and the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) were stepping up their efforts fighting piracy from China, another report has been filed naming over 60 more countries involved in this practice. The report was filed to the U.S. government under the "Special 301" trade law, which identifies countries that present major copyright issues for businesses. Countries under Special 301 can be impacted in serious ways, including potential sanctions for those labeled as Priority Foreign Countries.The IIPA has asked the government to name Russia, Pakistan and Ukraine as Priority Countries.
